Your question is based on the supposition that there was a good Tony Orlando & Dawn song! But if I had to choose between the two songs you mention, I definitely would pick "Knock Three Times" as the worst.

Wow, the flashing ad on this blog is really distracting, but I'll try to think. When I hear songs by Tony Orlando and Dawn they remind me of how much fun it was growing up in the 70's. His songs brighten my lousy day.

Bill, that was just mean! Now Knock Three Times will be screaming through my head AGAIN today.

As a little girl in the 70's I absolutely adored Tony Orlando. I looked forward to his variety show every week, and one of the highlights of my childhood was when my Dad took me to his concert at the Civic Arena in Pittsburgh. I still have the picture book from it, and it's one of my favorite things from my childhood. I am not ashamed to admit that I still get excited when I see him on TV, I'm a lifelong fan and proud of it!

I enjoyed their variety show, too, as long as they didn't sing. I do think that the women were much better singers. I will also admit that I'd rather have "Knock Three Times" playing in my head all day than "It's a Small World" from the Disney World ride!

I also remember his variety show from the 70's -- Tony could wear a ruffled tux shirt better than anyone! If I have to vote between the two songs you listed, I'd go with "Knock Three Times."

What's next, Bill? A discussion of Cher's greatest hits?

Cher figured prominently in my list of the worst songs ever, so I'll cut her a break here. I should have had "Knock Three Times" in there, though.

Compared to the long hx of "Adult Contemporary",
Jam and most Hip-Hop, TO&D is HOF.

Hey, I liked "Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves" better than "Knock Three Times"!

Tried to find "G, T and T" on YouTube. No could do.

Requested it on WMUH; the guy said Cher did a version. He has it by TD&D at home. No luck tonite.

The guy played Cher singing something called "GT &T." It was a striking, ear-splitting schmellie.

I know who Tony is, and I know who Orlando is, but who is Dawn?

"Knock Three Times" always conjured up drinking games at Lehigh U in my head.

As I recall, Dawn was the collective name for his two hot backup singers.
